Courtyard Minneapolis Maple Grove/Arbor Lakes

Guy at the front counter was super kind. We had a room mixup… he took it upon himself to feed us Peanut M&Ms and Perrier. He works Fridays. Very kind. All the staff are kind. Forever 21 across the street, y’all.

I actually love this place because it seems like a lot of the stores have clothes that are not pick through like most places in big cities. After shopping in the strip mall I was able to find options that are not available at my Victoria’s Secret or buckle. Because it seems it is all picked through. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to find the latest trends it is also extremely fancy I love it I’ll be here again soon
I’ve been here a few times and that was enough. For me, the drive is not worth it from where I’m coming and the overall unnecessary attitude is just annoying. From both staff at stores and fellow shoppers. Granted, it can be anywhere however, this place just seems to have an over abundance.
While there is a pretty decent selection of shops and a few decent restaurants, I’ll stick to the shopping establishments closer that is if I have to venture to a mall at all.

Stayed here many times but lately the quality has deteriorated. The front desk staff (1 girl) was very unfriendly. Also the gym equipment was not working correctly and none of the TVs in the gym worked. Parking was full most days and it was snowing so it was a bit of a pain to find parking. For the money that you pay to stay here I would expect more than this. Next time staying someplace else

Our team stayed here for the volleyball tournament. It was fabulous. Lobby was so nice to hang out in while girls slept. Ashlee at the Starbucks was great, and food was very good. Small but nice workout room. Rooms were spacious and easy access to many restaurants and whole foods right across the street. Staff was so friendly and helpful and it really was a great experience. I would highly recommend it. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the convention center but drive was easy although we did go off hours. Fee wifi, laundry, they even gave us laundry soap. It’s little things that make this a great place if you need to be in that area.

Brand new property in a great location to shopping and restaurants and groceries and movies. Clean. Very comfortable bed. Helpful polite staff and a Starbucks in the lobby. While breakfast is not free it is hearty and made to order. A good spot for sure at a good value.

I am a big fan of this hotel. I blocked off rooms here for my wedding and stayed here on my wedding night. I were pleasantly surprised by an updated corner suite with a beautiful balcony and view.
They were very accommodating with blocking off rooms and were helpful to all of our guests.
I also have worked with them blocking off rooms for corporate events and have heard nothing but good feedback.
It also is very conveniently located near restaurants and shopping.

While I stayed at the Holiday Inn next door (reviewed separately and also excellent), a number of colleagues stayed at this Courtyard. They raved about it and so I decided to give it a try. The location is excellent in terms of dining, entertainment, and highway access. The hotel is modern, clean, and attractive in both rooms and pubic areas. The price is very reasonable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. This is definitely one of the better Courtyards I have stayed at, and I will surely stay here again.

A group of my friends and I just spent the past weekend here and overall it was a very pleasant stay. The rooms were clean and the service was excellent! The bar and restaurant were GREAT! They had good food and great service! Not to mention a nice pool table that guests could use for free! It was a good location (close to a TGIF and Dave & Busters among many other things!) and had plenty of parking. I would highly recommend staying here and am certain that my friends and us will stay here again as well!
Pros — Updated rooms that were hip; clean, friendly service, free WiFi, on site bar and restaurant; good parking; free pool table
Cons — Small pool and hot tub was outdoors

I’ve been coming to MSP (Maple Grove) for almost three years now and have stayed exclusively at this Courtyard. As a Marriott ‘lifer’ I can tell you that this is THE best Courtyard I’ve stayed at in my 10 + years of traveling.
Where to begin the praise…
The staff here is great, they love and bend over backward for all guests but especially for the frequent road warriors. All staff: blue collar, front desk, food & drink and management are top notch!
The food selection is what you would expect from a Courtyard but, get to know the chef and he can pretty much accomodate your request from the items they have on the menu. This really comes in handy when you just don’t feel like getting back in the car to grab a bite to eat.
The internet in the room is BLAZING fast, so fast that I think someone may have caught on and started throttling the bandwidth. But even so, the speeds are great for working from the hotel room via a remote desktop session.
As other reviewers have pointed out, the location is perfectly surrounded by many great restaurants and stores. I recommend 3 Squares if you are in the area… great place with an awesome menu of entres.
I only have one gripe which i’ve never mentioned to the staff and I don’t think this detracts from giving the place five stars. The towels are just a little too thin, and being that Minnesota get’s cold the towels are not up to par.
For all my die-​hard traveling comrades who frequent Marriott properties, you will not be disappointed with this place!

Great Hotel! Love the outdoor hot tub. Large excercise room. Nice pool. Comfortable beds. Like the decorating. Close to shopping and great restaurants.

We stayed here for our wedding and it was a nice hotel. The rooms are very nice for the price and the breakfast was good (for a hotel) in the morning. The staff was accommodating and did everything we needed.

Recently stayed while in MN for 4 nights. Very nice hotel, very well situated. Excellent customer service and helpful staff.
Our bed was firm but very comfortable. This will be my second choice when in town. Very clean and tidy, and can’t beat complimentary laundry when on the road with a toddler.
Not a five star for me because our room was beautiful but small, and was contrasted by cheap toilet seat and the tub drained very slowly. All basic maintenance and repair issues, which are expected for the amount of traffic they get. Overall enjoyed the stay, and the one night we did have room service we enjoyed it immensely.

This is the best Courtyard Marriott I have ever stayed at. New design, very modern, restaurant, and bar. Highly recommended. If your on the road in Minnesota, nice change of pace.

Great hotel. Staff are really friendly and facilities are great. The gym is definitely above average. Stayed here for 23 days and dont reallyhave any reason not to recommend it.
It is situated very close to the maple grove/​arbor lakes shopping district which means you are spoiled for food and shopping choices if you don’t want to eat in — having said that, eating in isn’t bad with the bar/​restaurant serving pretty decent/​value food.
rooms are great size, the whole place including lobby and rooms are well decorated.
Recommended, a great hotel in a great area.‘
one note i do remember is that the air/​heating system can come on loudly, but this didn’t bother me too much (but it might for others depending on location relative to the bed)

The best Courtyard I have ever stayed at! I spent 17 nights here and received lovely service. From the front desk, to housekeeping, room service, to the restaurant this hotel is great for a long or short term stay!
Great gym, laundry facilities (free), pool, outside deck area… this list could go on. Their Internet service was wi-​fi throughout and pretty fast for hotel Internet, I downloaded a movie from iTunes within ½ an hour.
This was located by great restaurants, shops and even a Trader Joes and Byerlys. I travel to this location at least once a year and will definitely book this hotel again.

One of my fav new Courtyards. Very friendly staff & attentive.
The gym is larger than most, with a free weight selection, a few cardio machines, etc. They also seem to have a fun patio area outside which I unfortunately wasn’t able to check out.
Lobby is re done and has a fun little bar/​food area which they even do happy hour specials at. I ended up getting room service for a spinach, strawberry, feta salad and it was DELICIOUS, definitely made from scratch.
The hotel is extremely strategic/​dangerous in its location since its packed right next to a small shopping area. DSW, REI, Lowe’s, lots of other places you can run some errands or shop. (Yes dangerous was sarcasm… this area does feel very safe)
I will definitely make this my destination hotel when returning back to the Twin Cities area.
